The August 14 edition of the Wall Street Journal has an interesting commentary on social media, and Facebook in particular. As someone who likes Facebook, mainly to keep up with a family scattered across the US, I think the article has a point, and makes me think more about posting on Facebook. To take it a step further, I have long disliked all of the hoopla that goes on in sports- for example in the baseball dugout even after non-important and sometimes negatives outcomes it appears as though someone discovered a cure for cancer! Wouldn't it be refreshing to have some of the celebratory dances and high fives, fist bumps, etc. be replaced by a simple gesture like a smile a la Olympian Gaby?
